His method is like the edge of a blade, hostile and swift; the harness of this man is of strength. If, like one who honors a father, he places a jewel for the abundant wealth, the lordly one grants it.

(I behold) the practice of that (Agni) as of a deputy (or axe); I celebrate the host (of rays) of that (resplendent) form, (designed) for the enjoyment (of mankind); if he be with (the worshipper), he bestows upon the man who invokes him at a sacrifice such opulence as a mansion abounding with food.

I, to enjoy the beauty of his form, behold that rapid rush of his as 'twere an axe's edge, What time he gives the man who calls on him in fight wealth like a dwelling-house filled full with store of food.
